i kind of
agree, but filesize is not a unique advantage of ogg.
I meant compared to MP3.
The marketing guy will come along and say
'use wma then'.
That's marketing guys for you. DRM music formats aren't actually very
popular, are they?
i have recently been v disturbed by download stats on sites
that offer multiple formats. My information source could be
unreliable but i think wma usage could be more popular than
it first appears if you hang out in 'cool' circles...
ogg has one single unique advantage: Freedom.
I'm not
convinced that promoting it on any other grounds will be successful
in the long term.
I'd agree - I was thinking strictly short-term, as the post-MP3
formats jostle for position.
i differentiate between the commercial and underground
areas.
-the underground is generally sticking with mp3 in my experience.
-the commercial battle has already been won by wma.
but i'm prepared to be persuaded otherwise :-)
